Sanctuary cities are prime examples of shit holes right?

Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles... are shit holes? What would you consider a primo location?

Parts of each? Absolutely? The budgets and fiscal stability of all? Absolutely. @Northwest

@jackjjackson The Zillow list of hottest US real estate markets (current):

1. San Jose, California: Sanctuary city

2. Raleigh, North Carolina: Raleigh's Mayor wants, Nancy McFarlane wants to make it a Sanctuary city. Last I heard, she was threatened with sanction, funding cuts, etc., so not certain what the legal status is.

3. Seattle, Washington: sanctuary city

4. Charlotte, North Carolina: a defacto sanctuary city. Same issue as Raleigh. It's an ongoing thing.

5. San Francisco, CA: Sanctuary city

6. Austin, Texas: Sanctuary city

7. Denver, Colorado: Sanctuary city

8. Nashville, TN: almost. Wants to, but trying to fight off fed sanctions

9. Portland, OR: sanctuary city

10. Dallas, TX: take a guess

How's your fantasy working out so far? You still haven't said what you consider a primo location.

Sure, every city has a bad spot or two, but let's get real.

Inasmuch as that list actually reflects metropolitan areas directly relating it to sanctuary city designations is somewhat misleading. @Northwest

@jackjjackson Huh? What's misleading? The real estate data comes straight from Zillow, and it's only 3 days old. Try again.

What’s so difficult to understand about the term metropolitan area? The actual cities are not used for the numbers you cite. @Northwest

@jackjjackson What's so difficult to understand the term this came from Zillow. Their numbers are NOT for the metropolitan areas. Check some facts every once in a while, Jack. Don't follow the Trump lead.

If these were Metropolitan areas numbers, Seattle would be #1, when you add Bellevue, Redmond and Kirkland, all three cities experienced the highest growth in the nation. If you take the San Jose metropolitan area, then the ranking will go down. The same for the Portland metropolitan area. The same for Raleigh and Charlotte. For those last two cities, it turns out the smart people are moving in, leaving some of the suburbs in the red oblivion.
